Hi Pete,
Thanks for providing the technical information I could not find! My
wife related some of the tests performed on the metalworking fluids she
develops, which include a swell test on rubbers. It seems these tests
usually extend over a 7 day period, and are at increased temperatures to
accelerate the test. I guess my soaking of seals for a few minutes is
not going to make much difference!
Cheers,
Bill.
